Acting Quote by Philip K. Dick

“Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait…” quote by Philip K. Dick — Download Open image

“Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb--that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully... which only reinforces that particular Lie.”
